1841 as an adjunct to the country house Lawrence End listed under
Kimpton parish (q.v.). Sandy red brick in Flemish-bond with hipped slate
roofs and painted eaves cornices. Similar brick and moulded brick coping
to walls of walled garden. An L-shaped group of buildings in late
Georgian style in stable yard to NW of house with large rectangular
walled garden linked to NW and reached by a gateway in the wall on the N
side of the stableyard. Shorter coachhouse at S and stables block at W
of similar height and composition. Chamfered plinth, moulded wood eaves
cornice with modillions to projecting pedimented centre, wide round
arched central opening in 2 recessed orders, 2 round headed sash windows
set in similar round headed recesses on each side. Coachhouse block has
passageway blocked within. Stables block has stucco crosswall within
archway with stable doors to R and L, and small white box vent central

contemporary with hipped roof, one round arched window, and recessed
similar door. Similar 2-orders round arched gateway in N wall of yard.
3M walls to walled garden sweeping up to 4M on N side and down to 2M on

yard leaving the coachhouse at the S in Kimpton parish also in North
Hertfordshire District, but this is said to be wrong and the boundary
runs further to the S through the dining room of the main house.
